Kate suggested a betta, and I was immediately reminded of Heinrich, the serial killer betta I had when I was thirteen. He was the star in an aquarium I got second hand, and I had no idea when I got it what fish get along with what others. I quickly read up on everything so after another week, I knew that fish need plants, and a betta should be kept alone, so at least I knew why he had killed both his mates and two platys, but that didn't stop me from taking it personal.
The name was taken from a story by Wolfdietrich Schnurre, where Heinrich was a far more agreeable stickleback.
I think I'm brave enough to tackle Orym next, but he's a rabbit. 😂
